Tate sits down with Tullahoma Wildcats Head Basketball Coach Jason Welch to break down the grind of the high school summer basketball circuit. With over 80 college coaches walking the gym, they discuss the massive exposure the BCAT Hoopsfest provides and what it takes for players to push through the final days of the summer evaluation period.
Coach Welch, bringing 33 years of coaching experience to the mic, also shares his candid thoughts on the TSSAA Board of Control's recent approval of the shot clock. Tate and Jason dive into how the shot clock will eliminate late-game "hack-fests," speed up the pace of play, and the logistical and financial hurdles schools will face in finding qualified operators. Plus, a look back at Tullahoma's incredible recent success, including their 28-5 and 32-5 seasons.
